Proverbs 28:12-20

12When the righteous triumph, there is great glory: but when the wicked rise, men hide themselves.

13He that covereth his transgressions shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall obtain mercy.

14Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.

15As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over a poor people.

16The prince that lacketh understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days.

17A man that is laden with the blood of any person shall flee unto the pit; let no man stay him.

18Whoso walketh uprightly shall be delivered: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.

19He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough.

20A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be unpunished.
